What If We Ask Linux to Do Cryptography for Us? - Using Kernel Cryptography in Applications

Explore a 28-minute conference talk from SREcon24 Europe/Middle East/Africa that delves into leveraging Linux kernel's cryptographic capabilities as an alternative to user space libraries. Learn how the Linux kernel can perform encryption and decryption operations with enhanced security compared to traditional user space cryptographic libraries. Discover practical implementations for integrating kernel-based cryptography in Golang and Rust applications, making secure cryptographic operations accessible without requiring advanced Linux kernel expertise. Presented by Cloudflare's Oxana Kharitonova, gain insights into modern cryptographic approaches for data encryption during Internet transmission and disk storage, offering a fresh perspective on secure application development.
